Non-toxic Materials for Planet Earth Ⅱ

Dear Colleagues,

Over the past 100 years, many toxic materials have been developed and used in multiple applications, leading to severe pollution of land, water bodies, and air. This has posed serious health challenges to all the inhabitants, human or otherwise, of planet Earth, as these materials have entered our food chain as per recent studies. The present Special Issue is launched with a specific aim to promote research, education, and usage of environment safe materials. The present issue thus welcomes all articles related to development, processing, characterization, and application of all categories of materials which are nontoxic and sustainable for making our planet an excellent place in which to live. Particular topics covered in this issue include but are not restricted to the following:

1. Research into nontoxic materials;
2. Lightweight materials for greenhouse gas mitigation;
3. Energy-efficient processing techniques;
4. Materials to mitigate water pollution;
5. Materials to mitigate land pollution;
6. Characterization;
7. Applications;
8. Miscellaneous topics related to the thematic title.

Reviews, both mini and regular, are invited on any of the above topics.

Prof. Manoj Gupta
